- Your long-term and future medical care needs, including paying for doctor visits, future surgeries, etc.
- The supplemental job displacement benefits that you need if you are unable to do your previous job or previous work type.
There are many ways you can settle your Workers’ Compensation claim, and your case management team will work together to ensure that they have reviewed all possible paths for your claim. One option for settlement is through Stipulations with Request for Award. With this type of settlement, you agree to settle one part of your case (such as the cash value of your permanent disability) but are leaving open another part (such as continued payment for future medical bills). With this settlement option, you may not only receive a lump sum payment from your previous employer because of your injury, but you may receive ongoing medical treatment paid at 100% by your employer for the rest of your life.
Another settlement option that our team will consider for your claim is Compromise and Release. With this settlement option, you are agreeing to a final settlement of your entire case. Typically with this type of settlement you would receive one lump sum of money that encompasses payment for your permanent disability, future medical bills, and any necessary supplemental job displacement benefits. Once you settle through this option, you release your employer (and your employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier) from any future claims for the work-related illness or injury that is the subject of the claim.
If you and the insurance carrier are unable to agree on a method of settlement, then your claim will likely proceed to be heard before a Workers’ Compensation judge at trial. Our trial attorneys are experts in California Workers’ Compensation Laws and Regulations and will fight until a fair settlement is reached, or a Finding and Award is issued by a Workers’ Compensation Judge after hearing your case and reviewing the evidence at trial.
Workers’ Compensation claims can become extremely complicated quickly, and it is always best to have a knowledgeable and experienced team on your side. Working with a California Workers’ Compensation attorney is the best way to determine what settlement options are the most ideal for your situation. With Nyman Turkish PC you are not only hiring an attorney, you are hiring an entire team to fight on your side for the duration of your claim. Clear and consistent communication is extremely important during the process of a case, and our team is available by phone and email to answer your questions. Unlike some other Firms, our Case Management team will not only answer the phone when you call, but will call you back within one business day if you end up leaving us a message. Your team will always strive to provide you with informative case updates that explain not only your current case status, but the next steps you can expect them to take and how you can best help your claim.
